From the Wikipedia article
Hornsea RNLI Lifeboat Station was located at the junction of Burton Road and Eastbourne Road, in Hornsea, a seaside town approximately 12 miles (19 km) north-east of Hull, on the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire. A lifeboat was first stationed at Hornsea in 1852, by The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society (SFMRBS).

An independent lifeboat station, Hornsea Inshore Rescue, was established at Hornsea in 1994.
